@rogersrolland
Could you please explain why Rogers has disabled the Data Toggle & Hot Spot Toggle??
Also, Why has Rogers disabled the FM chip??
There is a workaround for the Data & Hot Spot Toggles - But it should not be disabled to begin with... Are these disable by Rogers so that Rogers customers use more Data??

@RogersRoland there is NO difference in configuration, all Canadian versions
of the Galaxy S9 are the same, Rogers is straight up blocking a feature that my phone is capable of because it is not purchased through Rogers everyone know you guys are blocking features via IMEI

[goedhard]

Just checked. My FM radio works. Downloaded NextRadio. Need headphones for it to work.

@steveburke23, call Roger's tech and have them add your imei in the system. If it still doesn't work after that then I can only assume there is some settings in the software that comes from Rogers for it to work on Rogers hence the different brands of software /firmware. This could be another different form of way locking the device to a Carriere by using carriers software RWC vs XAC

[shaggyskunk]

Yeah the FM chip works on the S9+ But NOT on the S8+.... Same Hardware!
The Data & Hot Spot Toggles are also Disabled by Rogers on the S8+...... Why @RogersRoland?

[shaggyskunk]

Yes you're right about the S9+ But it's Disabled by Rogers on the S8+.

[steveburke23]

cool, the FM feature is working with the Next Radio App, I never thought to even check until now,

[IainS]

the FM radio is probably because the S8's had Rogers branded software and the devices were locked to Rogers, I beleive the S9's just use the XAC firmware for all carriers and additions are installed depending on what sim card is inserted at the setup stage.
